Async Clipboard API: Read unsanitized HTML.

Brief description

This proposal provides an `unsanitized` option in read() method to get unsanitized HTML format.. Unless sites choose to adopt the new API, reading from the clipboard will be sanitized. Currently, when we read text/html MIME types using the async API, the sanitizer is invoked to strip out contents from the HTML markup due to security concerns, and styles are inlined in the HTML, which leads to a bloated HTML payload and loss of fidelity of HTML content when read by web authors or native apps. Currently, Firefox provides access to unsanitized HTML via DataTransfer APIs, which matches Chromium's behavior, and Safari only allows access to unsanitized HTML if it's being read within the same origin.
